2023 Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker Riesling dry

Despite the powerful and round style of the vintage, the Herrgottsacker is full-bodied and straightforward, with a lot of pull on the palate. Minerality and acidity are in perfect balance. Thanks to the bone-dry finish, the wine whets the appetite for the next sip.  The intense nose of citrus fruits and white blossoms is a perfect match for this elegant, taut Riesling.

The VDP.Erstes Gewächs® can be most easily compared to the French Premier Cru in Burgundy. VDP.Erstes Gewächs® wines are the dry wines from our classified top sites from VDP.Erste Lage®. These sites must undergo a new test that confirms their site quality and wine quality. Our VDP.Erstes Gewächs® wines hardly differ from a Grosses Gewächs® in terms of yields and ageing, site/location is the only difference.

Soil:

We mainly harvest the grapes for our Herrgottsacker, which have a significantly reduced yield, from an approximately 0.5 hectare planted fillet plot. The soil is clearly characterized by red sandstone and loess, with isolated veins of limestone and good drainage.
